Chelating agents are organic chemical compounds that can form more than one bond with simple metal ion and boost the stability of the complex ion. They are used to prevent the harmful effect of free metal ions. Common chelating agents include ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA). These chelating agents are not biodegradable; they can lead to serious environmental issues. Environmental issues can be overcome by biodegradable chelating agents such as Methylglycinediacetic acid (MGDA), L-Glutamic acid N, N-diacetic acid (GLDA), Ethylenediamine-N, N-Disuccinic Acid (EDDS), and sodium gluconate. Key factors driving the biodegradable chelating agents market include potential health and environmental hazards associated with the use of non-biodegradable organic chelating compounds. Demand for biodegradable chelating agents is expected to increase due to the implementation of stringent environmental regulations across the globe. This is pro...

Construction waste is anything that is generated as a result of construction, and then abandoned, regardless of whether it has been processed or stockpiled. Construction are at the core of all our demand, i.e. water, energy, and material, but they also create waste. This waste, generated in the construction, maintenance, and disposal phases of a building, is called construction and demolition (C&D) waste. The construction waste market includes waste from demolished structures, renovations in the real estate sector, and construction and repair of roads, flyovers, and bridges. According to a report by the World Bank in 2012, globally, cities generate 1.3 billion tons of solid waste every year. This volume is expected to increase up to 2.2 billion tons every year by 2025. Building material accounts for half of the solid waste generated every year worldwide. Steps in construction waste management are storage and segregation, collection and transportation, recycling and reuse, and dis...
